Should Tracking Numbers be included with emails

My guess would be that you have hidden characters somewhere. Can you take your code into a text editor which can show hidden characters?

I used “show invisibles” in TextWrangler and it showed some gray dots before your two lines of code. I deleted them and now it works. It must be a copy error from the forums to TextWrangler. Thank you very much novista.

I have had an addon done by Alt Team to have click-able carrier tracking in the shipments email. The addon is for 2.2.4 but may work with other versions. It also has a selection of UK carriers added to the list of available carriers.

Oh well. Thanks for the add-on!

I am using it 3.0.3 Professional and it works fine

This is something I've never really bothered too much about because I mostly use media mail and have not used tracking. Sometimes I ship with UPS and have thought it would be nice for the customer to get a ship notification with a clickable link, but never really spent enough time to get it working.



However, with the free tracking available from the USPS these days, I'm thinking about tracking every package I ship. I've been playing around with it a bit tonight but no matter what I do, I can't get a tracking number to appear in the ship confirmation email (invoice type) that gets sent to the customer.



I have installed the addon supplied in this thread (thanks!) but even using it, the only time I can get a tracking number emailed to the customer is if I ask the cart to notifiy the customer at the time I Create the shipment. If I create the shipment, leave “Notifiy customer” unchecked, then toggled the order status to “Completed”, it sends an email to the customer saying the order shipped, detailing the order, but no shipment information and no tracking number.



Is this how this is supposed to work or am I missing something?

In \basic\mail\orders\invoice.tpl



I did this on a customers site and it works great. No addon needed, it's all built into the cart.



{if $tracking_number_exists}

{$lang.tracking_number}:

{foreach from=$order_info.shipping item="shipping" name="f_shipp"}
{*DAVID MOD - USPS Link for tracking number*}
{if $shipping.tracking_number}{$shipping.tracking_number}{if !$smarty.foreach.f_shipp.last},{/if}{/if}
{/foreach}

{/if}

Thanks Triplets but this doesn't work for me.

Is this available for v4.x @john?
